Fog-shrouded Nordschleife? No sweat for our four-time F1 champ Max Verstappen!
On Saturday, the Dutch destroyer stormed to P3 on the grid for his GT3 debut in the NLS ninth round –rocketing his Emil Frey Ferrari 296 to provisional pole on wets with an 8:46.694, then slashing it to 8:37.818 for a 20-second gap!
A late switch to the slicks and traffic couldn't dim his fire; just three secs off pole, but Max was buzzing: "We're in the fight for the win!"
Fast-forward: The 4-hour thriller is underway and 90 minutes in, Verstappen's leading by a comfortable margin in his #31 296 GT3 – teamed with Chris Lulham.
Why are we not surprised?
